We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

An email from Algonquin Township Clerk Marc Munaretto, who is running against incumbent Supervisor Dianne Klemm for that office:

Marc Munaretto

“Here is some information about the Township’s financial stewardship under Supervisor Klemm that might be interesting to your readers.

“Did you know that, despite the fact that the Township has enough cash in reserve to pay for almost a full year of Township expenses, Supervisor Klemm continues to increase the levy? [This was received before last night’s meeting.]

“Moreover, she has increased the levy in each of the last 4 years by $123,000.

“And, budgeted town fund expenses rose by $300,000 last year over the previous year.

“I know that the Supervisor’s plan now, in response to the NW Herald article last week, is to rebate the increase in the levy that was adopted last November.

“As an acclaimed ‘tax fighter’ I imagine this kind of financial stewardship must give you pause.

“I know that it is upsetting to our electorate when their elected officials don’t get it.

“Our taxpayers are fed up with rising property taxes and declining property values.

“I think Algonquin Township can be a better financial steward under my leadership if I am elected Supervisor.”

You got that right, Mr. Munaretto! I’m sick of it too! And it takes real guts to fire off like that in these local elections. A lot of people want to vote for “Mr Nice Guy”. I don’t know anything about you or if you’ll be any better than Klemm, but you’ve got me listening.
